‘Spare’ by Prince Harry

I do think he was probably a square peg in a round hole at Eton and Gordonstoun would have suited him better as he is so good at sport and seems to be the outdoors type.
Poor lad.

Ah, OK.

I remember when he got them, all the scandal about whether his teacher had done the artwork.

I remember the outrage then that anybody could suggest that a member of the Royal Family was cheating.

But now he's blotted his copybook, I suppose it could be true.

You gotta laugh, haven't you?

Yes I know volver, I did say of his own.
Perhaps geography? It has come in useful with all the travelling he does.

He had exactly the same education as his brother but didn't gain any 'A' levels of his own

Prince Harry left Eton College with two A level passes - a B in Art and a D in Geography.

A King’s Story was riveting because we knew next to nothing about life behind palace walls and the love affair between Edward VIII and Wallis Simpson fascinated and divided the country. We know so much about Harry and Meghan, because that’s how they want it, that his book will have to shock us out of our boredom with their endless complaints for it to have any impact.

Most people will be more concerned about their rising bills and whether or not they can get a GP appointment.

We should all be eternally grateful that he wasn't the first born son.

It's not impossible that, had he been, he would have been schooled both educationally and culturally, quite differently.

He had exactly the same education as his brother but didn't gain any 'A' levels of his own so couldn't go to university as William did, but did (somehow) gain a place at Sandhurst. He had a gap year first like many young people. He's very good at sport.

Perhaps he would have benefited from going to Gordonstoun like his father and paternal grandfather instead of Eton like his mother's male relatives.

I wonder what his children will write about their childhood in a a few years? Will it be all sweetness and light or will they have their own hang ups about their childhood and parents, as they say "what goes around comes around"

Feelings of deja vu. ?

‘A King’s Story - The Memoirs of the Duke of Windsor’ Autobiography written in 1951.

"He is a healthy young man of good character"

What? His mental health is, by his own admission, hanging by a thread. As for his good character he and his wife are proven inveterate liars!

His insufferable whining and whinging and woe is me attitude, whilst having spent the whole of his life in a position of privilege and good fortune and never knowing what it's like to have had to raise a family on low wages or benefits, is nauseating. Makes me sick.

Frankly, both of them are dead bores. The sort of people you avoid at partys and duck behind trees if you see them in the street.

The sooner they sink without trace the better.

Harry was good at soldiering was he not? I imagine some further training in his speciality whatever it was would fit him for paid employment. He is a healthy young man of good character.

I know he is still ‘Prince Harry’ of course, but if they really want to be independent, why not bite the bullet and publish under the name ‘Harry Wales’?

(Not quite so eye catching though)

Mind you, is he still ‘Wales’ or is he now just ‘Mountbatten Windsor’?

Really not sure.

to be released in January.........to put a shadow on the coronation

I believe the release date is decided by the publisher, not the author(s).

Though it might have been deliberate.

Absolutely!

Buy One Get One Free. Free!

Same as 2 for 1.

And still no mention if Archie and Lilibet are getting their titles.

A tell all memoir won’t help.

Mind you, seeing as H&M weren’t bothered about titles for their children in the first place….

Volver, I imagine BOGOFF means you have to buy three to get one free. Two for one looks as if it means you get one free if you buy two.

It's possible that no member of the royal family would hold down an ordinary well paid job.

maybe Philips public persona was very different from his private one .His main influence was Mountbatten after all who was hardly a saint!!Be interesting if Harry has a different take on his sainted GF?

The comparison that Sparklefizz makes between Prince Philip and Prince Harry seems to me to be a very valid one. Prince Philip headed a number of pet projects, but probably the most well known is the Duke of Edinburgh Award Scheme. Equally Harry is very involved with Well Child (I think that’s it’s name) and The Invictus Games. All very worthy projects. However Prince Philip never moaned or complained despite a very difficult childhood. He was smuggled out of Greece as a baby in a basket or box. His mother went off to be a nun and his older sisters and a variety of other relatives raised him. He didn’t go on national television to complain about his lot in life, he didn’t write a book about his life. He got on with life and supporting his wife who became Queen somewhat earlier than they expected. He gave up his promising naval career to support her. He didn’t moan or complain. There are a number of things Harry could learn from his grandfather, but for a very wealthy man (money being no object to travel unlike many other people) to refuse to attend his grandfather’s memorial service tells me what kind of a man Harry is.

The sad thing here is that Megan and Harry seem to have nothing at all to offer, apart from a relentless drip drip of salacious tales about their lives, and the injustices they feel they have endured. 'Having chosen to leave the Royal Family, could they not have chosen a better way of life?

Yes, there doesn't seem to be much else to their repertoire.

I thought they might have more to offer than this.
